[Triatominae in Palm Trees and Their Natural Infection by Trypanosoma cruzi in Regions of Eastern Venezuela].

CONCLUSIONS: The infestation of coyol palm trees with Rhodnius prolixus and Maculata Triatoma was reported for the state of Anzoátegui in Venezuela, as well as the presence of TcI sub-populations of T. cruzi, being this palm tree the peridomicilar habitat of the triatominae-T. cruzi binomial and possible bioindicador of risk of infection for surrounding human populations.
